Jim Bowen 1 Posted December 3, 2012 Had this problem 2yrs ago, but not really used car since. With my front seats (electric movement) the fuse keeps blowing so both stop working. Got car back on road at weekend and had fixed it, was working all weekend, came to work in it today and they aren't working now. Am guessing its the fuse again (not looked) but why would this happen?

Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 3, 2012 Is the fuse only associated with the seats? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted December 3, 2012 I think so, but can't say for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 3, 2012 What number is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted December 3, 2012 They sort of sit separate above the fusebox in their own little circuit bit, can't make sense of why its worked for 2days then stopped working when i've not been using it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted December 3, 2012 I would remove the seats and check wiring under seat especially around the hinges as they can become damaged where they crease when seat is tilted etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted December 3, 2012 Ahh, didn't think it could be when i tilt seat forwards, i see what you mean :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Found a really frayed wire in the hinge. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talltorrac 10 Posted February 14, 2013 Jim Have you got a photo of the fuse box with the fuse that has blown - moved my seat forward for a friend the other day so their little legs could reach the pedals and the electrics on the seat stopped working. Got the seat apart today and discovered the connector had been pulled (similar thing happened on my Mk4 Golf few years ago) - I've put it back together but not getting any response from switches I'm thinking it might be a fuse as all the wires seem intact but as I'm pretty confident the interior is not the original I'm not sure the wiring is going to be plugged into the right place. I have no other electrics out so am stumped so far! A photo would be dead handy if you knew which one it was that has blown. My fuse box doesn't seem to resemble the standard pics I keep finding on google! Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted February 14, 2013 Will try and get a pic. But right on top of the fusebox there was two fuses. Almost separate to the fusebox. Mine sat horizontally and I think there is a relay between them. ---------- Post added at 6:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 6:29 PM ---------- Found this old pic. Fusebox has been pulled down but you don't need to do that. Its the two yellow ones you can just about make out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
